Why Strawberries and Avocados?
Berries are some of the only fruits available to the keto diet. Sometimes, all you want is a handful of sweet berries to satisfy the craving. We’re human, it’s understandable!
Strawberries are not only delicious, but they are great for you! They are low in carbs, yet very high in fiber. 1 cup of strawberries amounts to just over 11 grams of carbs and 3 grams of fiber!
Avocado is a keto-friendly food that is packed with healthy fats. Adding avocado to your smoothie gives a creamy, luxurious texture that is deliciously addictive. Also, it will help fill you up and satisfy you until lunchtime.
Tips for a Perfect Smoothie
The starting point of a great smoothie is the efficiency of the blender. Be sure to use a blender that can crush ice with ease, as this Keto Strawberry Avocado Smoothie utilizes frozen berries.
If your blender is having trouble crushing ice, you can always look into upgrading your blade. If your blender is a few years old, you can replace your blade or sharpen a dulled blade.
If you do not have a blender, many brands make high quality blenders for a reasonable price. Prices can vary so be sure to choose a make and model that fits your needs.

The purpose of using frozen berries is to keep the smoothie very chilled and thick upon blending. Using frozen fruit does not water down a smoothie in the same way ice cubes would instead. Always freeze your fruit prior to smoothie making!
Almond milk is classically keto when using an unsweetened, unflavored variety. It is one of the best plant based milk varieties for keto recipes.
Yes! The use of almond milk makes this smoothie vegan.
Flaxseed is great for adding even more healthy fats into your diet. It is known to relieve digestion issues and can help lower cholesterol, reducing the risk of future heart disease.
